Electri6ity
According to Computer Music magazine Electri6ity is “the most comprehensive electric guitar package we’ve seen” and Sound on Sound were equally impressed by the “in-depth parameters that offer many ways to add finely detailed nuances to a performance.” It’s no wonder then, that several months after release, the forums are still buzzing with excitement about this epic virtual instrument.
Electri6ity contains eight of the most famous and distinguished guitar tones in the history of the instrument – Strat, Tele, P90, Les Paul, Rickenbacker, Danelectro Lipstick, ES335, L4. More than 24,000 24-bit samples were taken of each one allowing you to play every articulation on every fret of every string for an absolutely authentic guitar sound. Three pickup options (front, rear, and mixed) are available on every guitar plus downstrokes, upstrokes, seamless velocity layers, ghost notes, mutes, harmonics, hammer-ons, pulloffs, slides, releases, and FX...
The authenticity is accentuated furthermore with Electri6ity’s incredibly advanced scripting, including the revolutionary Articulation Morphing Technology (A.M.T.) and Velocity Morphing Technology (V.M.T.) allowing for the seamless morphing from dead mute to sustain or from soft to loud. Advanced string and fretboard positioning is performed by artificial intelligence which adapts to your playing. Play fluid lines in real time using the legato engine, play chords using the chord detection engine which understands almost 2000 different chords, easily double-track, do unison bends, strum, pick, trill, tremolo pick, slide...all of this is built into the Electri6ity engine and full editing control is given over each of these parameters.
BASiS
If you’re looking to include guitars of the low-end variety in your tracks, the second Vir2 Instrument in this special Christmas bundle is sure to complete your guitar collection. Featuring upright, fretless, synth and electric basses, BASiS delivers classics like the Jazz Bass, P-Bass, Rickenbacker, and Musicman basses alongside personality and genre tributes such as a classic Motown bass, a gospel bass, Jaco´s Fretless, and Macca´s Hofner.

When it comes to the synth bass category, more than a hundred patches are provided, ranging from thumping vintage synth basses to techno basses and esoteric fresh creations to spice up your tracks whatever your musical style – you’ll see what we mean when you check out the mp3 demos!
